Rare? Forest Green Anchor hocking beer bottles.

[RoyalRuby]

I'm mainly posting this thread to see if others have come across any of this style forest green "Packie/One Way" bottle(s), so far I've uncovered 7 in a old 40's/50's dump just down the road from me, I keep finding listings for the A/H mold number 8565A as being rare, of the 7 I've found, 4 of them are the 8565A A/H bottles, 3 of those 4 have the "Anchorglass" embossed around the lower edge and 1 without, the other 3 of the 7 are from O/I, I also have two Carlings Ale green ones with labels also from O/I, of all the amber "Packie/One Ways" that I've found (anywhere) only 1 is a A/H bottle, I also have 1 Ball made one, all other amber (the majority of that style I have) are Brockway Glass Co. bottles, so are the O/I green counterparts just as tough to come by?, also the Ball and amber A/H Packies seam far and few between, anyone else finding these?....And Yes, the Old Milwaukee and Shlitz are Royal Rubys with original labels....

I found one green bottle on our land in TN and we were curious about it. So glad I found this forum.

Based on what RoyalRuby posted above, it seems this is a rare bottle - same mold number and everything. They may be able to give more insight if they found out anything about these bottles.

So far since I posted this thread 3 1/2 years ago, I have only found one of the A/H made Forest Green bottles with an original label and still full with Dads cap. The same seller listed a second one after I bought this one. Maybe Dads had a deal with A/H and the their Forest Green bottles. Not sure, so until another shows up with a different label, I'll guess it's a "Dads only" thing, although I've seen the same Dads label on their Amber colored bottles as well.

Be careful, I started in 1969 collecting ruby red Schlitz bottles and was soon bitten. Now my collection is fairly large including Warner bottles, figural bitters, pharmacy, medicines, flasks and all sorts of old bottles. I still have several of the original ruby bottles we found. Michael

Very interesting. Now I am curious how a single bottle ended up in the middle of the wood in Harriman TN. I should look around and see if I can find more

I also found a lot of pharmacie bottles from the 50's as well on our property.

Yep, chances are good to find more, generally where there's one, there's more.....

Okay, I am not familiar with the catalog photo, but I can honestly say I wouldn't even give this bottle a second thought. If it popped out of the ground while digging I would have thrown it back in the hole when filling it in. Definitely interesting, thanks for posting.
